vdev_disk: disable flushes if device does not support it

If the underlying device doesn't have a write-back cache, the kernel
will just return a successful response. This doesn't hurt anything, but
it's extra work on the IO taskqs that are unnecessary. So, detect this
when we open the device for the first time.

/*
* Detect if a device has a write cache. Used to set the intial value for the
* vdev nowritecache flag.
*
* 4.10: QUEUE_FLAG_WC added. Initialised by the driver, but can be changed
* later by the operator. If not set, kernel will return flush requests
* immediately without doing anything.
* 6.6: QUEUE_FLAG_HW_WC added. Initialised by the driver, can't be changed.
* Only controls if the operator is allowed to change _WC. Initial version
* buggy; aliased to QUEUE_FLAG_FUA, so unuseable.
* 6.6.10, 6.7: QUEUE_FLAG_HW_WC fixed.
*
* Older than 4.10 we just assume write cache, and let the normal flush fail
* detection apply.
